Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb Ground lamb
1 lg Yellow onion -- chopped fine
1 bn Parsley -- chopped
1 bn Fresh mint -- chopped
1 c Pine nuts
1/2 c Fresh lemon juice
1/2 c Olive oil
1/2 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 Jar grape leaves *
-Water (as needed)

*Note: Grape leaves should be washed and stems removed.

In a large bowl place the lamb, onions, parsley, mint,
pine nuts, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and
pepper. Mix the ingredients together with your hands
so that they are well combined.

Lay a grape leaf out flat. Place approximately 3
ounces of the lamb mixture in the center of the grape
leaf. Fold over the stem end. Fold over the two
sides. Roll up the grape leaf so that the mixture is
completely encased. Repeat this process until all of
the meat mixture is used.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the bottom of a large
baking dish with approximately 10 grape leaves. Place
the stuffed grape leaves in the dish so that they are
tightly packed. Cover the stuffed graped leaves with
water and bake them for 1 hour.
